      I like that theme but as i understand it, having a custom css theme may reduce your anonymity while browsing, if you’re concerned about that.

      In his newest (and worst) How Do You Do Fellow Kids moment, Mark Zuckerberg launches the Poob service, accessible exclusively through the Metaverse. What does it do? Fucked if we know.

      Same, after I tried all the other Fireforks. It was last on the list because of the non-serious name and logo, but damnit it’s the most stable and has sensible defaults that don’t get in my way.

        until the last update at least, which moved half of the settings into the “Floorp Hub”, removed the other half, and broke gesture extensions and my userchrome >:( thinking of just going back to librewolf and staying with it forever

    I really like librewolf. Does need some getting used to and actually learn to manage profiles (which it sadly remove the new profile browser for some reason?), but pretty great and “just works”

      The only problem is it isn’t based on Chromium tho. That just doesn’t suffice anymore.

      I was an avid Firefox user for years and librewolf user for a year after that, but unfortunately, FF hasn’t been able to keep up in terms of web standards.

      More and more I kept having pages just not work. I ended up having to install a backup Chromium-based browser bc critical websites like my banking and loan sites only worked on Chromium-based browsers. Eventually, I caved. If I had to have a second,Chromium-based browser anyway, I might as well just use that for everything.

      I wanted to not use Chromium, but FF has lost the war. Chromium runs the show now. No more fighting back. Google owns the internet.

      So now I’m on Brave, and honestly it’s way better than Librewolf these days. I would recommend any librewolf user switch over to that.

        I believed the same things… in around 2014. By internet standards, that’s an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I’ve found a total of one website that actually doesn’t work, which was just a huge directory listing.

        Yeah, I’ve used websites like that. So I told Firefox to spoof my user agent to be chrome and now I just use those websites anyway.

        I’m not interested in handing my data over to Palantir any more than I am to Google, so I’m not going to use Brave.

            Peter Thiel has invested in Brave. He also owns Palantir, the biggest corporate espionage agency on the planet, which contracts with the Department of Defense to build the largest government surveillance network in history expressly for the purpose of tracking every American, and has used that network to hunt down immigrants for ICE.

            Taking that all into account, I find it beyond belief that Brave isn’t a part of that network, and I’m not interested in using it on the off chance that it isn’t.

          Yes they are. They are agreed upon standards set for future development from a host of different companies. Chrome is just always the first to implement them. It’s not that firefox will never have them, they just develop slow.

          And I won’t switch from brave bc it’s the one browser that just works and has good adblock

        It’s weird how i still haven’t run into any of those sites after years of using firefox. For me it not being chromium is a positive, especially with this recent adblock nonsense that google is pulling.

          Good for you. It works for most websites. But when I can’t pay my loan bc firefox is crapping itself, it means I can’t use firefox.

        Why would you choose the crypto bro ad company browser out of all the chrome spinoffs?

        Why not use any of the others?

          One of the few chromies that has adblock still as well as decent privacy-by-default settings. I just disable the AI stuff. It doesn’t have crypto stuff anymore (at least not in your face; I’m sure you can still re-enable it). It’s the best chromium browser by far.

        Well it really depends on your use case because as a daily driver I never see any buggy page. Not even the enhanced protection thing is blocking pages

          Yeah it was good for a while. But now a few important websites for me just don’t work anymore, like a page for paying my loan. It only worked in chromium browsers. I know that chromium will work everywhere because they’re the first to implement the newest standards and are the most supported by developers due to it having a huge market share. I can’t rely on knowing firefox will work anymore. I’ve lost faith in it as a product.
